FAQ: What Model do I have? |
|
How do I determine which model I have?
The first place to look is in our Whaler Model section HERE.
Look through the photos and try to find your model.
Second, determine whether you have a Smirkless or Smirked bow. View Bows Here
Most Classic models are identified by the layout or style of interior they have.
Sport, Super Sport, Super Sport Limited all have different layout or style of interior.
The hulls are basically all the same in a given size and the interior defines which model you have.
If you can't find your model in the Whaler Models section, then you most likely have a modified interior which would now be called a "Custom" model.
To determine whether you have a 16' or a 17' model, take a look at this post in the forum section HERE.
Even though both the 16' and 17' models are 16' 7" in length, they are NOT identified by any 16' 7" name as it would be confusing.
They are identified by either 16' or 17' models and that tells us exactly what Bow they have as stated above, and the size of the Bow Locker Cover as shown in a diagram below.
All 16' models have the Smirkless bow up to and including 1975 as mentioned above.
Generally all boats 1971 and earlier had the Whaler Blue interior color and 1972 was a transition year to Desert Tan.
Bass Boat 16
Cohasset 16
Currituck 16
Custom 16
Eastport 16
Katama 16
Menemsha 16
Minot 16
Nauset 16
Sakonnet 16
Tashmoo 16
If the interior of your 16' model has been completely removed or customized, then you have a Custom 16...
The above models are NOT called 17' models in the Boston Whaler catalogs nor on our site.
Here is the Official word from Boston Whaler on 16' verses 17' hulls is the Bow Locker.
The smaller bow locker has the 16' Smirkless hull and the larger trapezoid locker has the 17' Smirked hull.
In 1976, the hull changed to include the Smirk bow and Boston Whaler started calling these the 17' models.
These models also had the Desert Tan interior color.
Montauk 17
Newport 17
Sport 17
etc.
If the interior of your 17' model has been completely removed or customized, then you have a Custom 17...
In 2002, the names of these newer models were changed to include 3 digits instead of 2.
Montauk 170
Sport 150
Dauntless 180
Outrage 240
etc.
If you have any further questions or input, please start a forum thread there and ask your question.
NOTE: For all of you that can't identify your model, then it most likely is now a Custom model.
